of the fire by shutting off the supply Of

other direction. l Immediately returned
10 the surface and communicated what |
had learned to Superintendent Lyman of
the Curry. He informed me that they
were It'll forcing air down the air shaft
but were unable to send men down to
rescue the imprisoned miners. 1t seems
that the Curry, l,500 north drift, ip
which these men are confined had been
run to The Con. Vlrgiaia south line. The
tou Virginia has drift south from their
shaft 20 feet above this Curry drift,
which runs to the Con. Virginia south
line. 1t ia through this 20 feet that our
men will be compelled to 90 before they

covered the true state of affairs | imme-
dlately put men TO work sinking from
the end Of our south drift in the hope
that they would be able to make the con-
pection IN time TO rescue the men alive.
OF course we will get in there. bat their
chance OF recovery lies IN keeping
the air pipes which are conveying
air down the Bonner shaft of
the Gould & Curry to them. 1t
might be supposed by some that the ef-
feet of the bulkhead which built would
be to shut off the air from the men in the
1900 drift Of the Curry. On the con-
trsry, it's effect will be to shut of the air
from the fire, thereby causing it to
shoulder, and allowing Q possible rescue
Of the men through the shaft. Another
good effect OF the buikhead would be to
keep tbs. FIRE away from tho air pipes, on
the preservation of which depends the
hope of saving the men"

A MASS meeting Of carpenters, called to
organize IA strike, met at Chicago on Sun
day and was addressed by several speak
crs in English and German. Among
them were the successor Of Spies as editor
OF the ArJeiter Zeitung and the notorious
Milwaukee anarchist. Paul Grottkau. The
English speaking element protested,
greatly to the credit of their intelligence
and patriotism, against any words from
the latter agitator, and he was suppressed.
Tho strike, however, was resolved upon
and has since been inaugurated upon the
understanding that mono are to resume
work until all the employers give in, or
the strike as a whole is declared a failure"
Municipal politics formed IA conspicuous
feature of the meeting, and the strike is
TO be made effective in promoting the
success of the Socialist candidate for
mayor.

liz THE winter of 1852 the steam
boat Martha Washington was burned on
the Mississippi river and sixteen lives
We're lost. 1t soon t%ranspired that the
boat had been very heavily insured and
that she was burned to secure the insur-
ancc. William Kissane, after n long and
interesting trial, was convicted of con-
spiracv in the affair and sentenced to the
Ohio penitentiary but was pardoned after
serving part of his sentence. Then,
changing his name, Kissane joined
Walkers band Of adventures in Nicara-
qua, and distinguished himself even
among those reckless desperadoes. For a
time he was lost sight OF but has Of late
turned up AS a wealthy, and consequently
influential citizen Of California. 1t hap
pens that an old Indictment for forgery
has been revived against him in New
York City. and an effort has been made
to have a noNe entered in his behalf. A
fair opportunity is thus offe ed for impress
sing upon the American public the greatly
needed lesson that one of the privileges
which wealth cannot purchase is immun-
ity for crime, Few more atrocious
.scoundrels have ever cursed the earth
than the man who could deliberately sac
rifice innocent lives for gain, and leaden.
footed Justice may overtake him at last.

OF a hill, digs a hole in the drift, crawls in

There are more dry, clear winter days in
north Dakota than in any other section Of
our country, and u more southern resident
cannot conceive OF the beauty and brilliancy
of the northern nights. When the weather
suddenly turns warm and snow clouds form.
double, triple or quadruple lunar haloes may
be seen, which puzzle the scientists to explain
by tho principles of refraction. Blu when
the mild weather is succeeded by a light
storm and it clears off cold, the air dry and
still and the mercury coquetting around 80
dogs. below then do the heavens indeed declare
the glory OF God. The blue sky seems like
IN actual substance, a hard and polished
dome brought nearer to the earth; the stars
seem 10 stand out from the deep blue, to look
Town OH one with a conscious intelligence,
aud the lines Of glittering light which run
along the little riffs OF snow take on CULVER
ing tints of delicate red and blue. Now and
then a blaze OF pure light flames up in the
north-a light absolutely without color-and
it there is any frost flying, ono may see the
minute particles in tho air like $1,000 little
jewels. All these phenomena, Oh course, are
seen farther south when the conditions suit;
but here they nre presented In such cold, I'M
earthly splendor as to seem like views en-
tilely new.
The habits OF wild fowl and wild game In
this cold northwest arc quite as curious as
the experience OF men. The hunters insist
that the true wild goose only touches the
ground TO rest and feed and that non of
them have ever nested In our territory. The
fowl that does nest there is the Canada goose.
In its northward flight 1t begins to leave colo
MES rs far down rs Iowa; they increase sue
cessively n~orthward, and thousands OF their
young are Matched and reared in the coteaux.
The true wild goose joins them there for a
time, and during most OF October and the
first half OF November the hunting is equal 10
any in the world. During the season this
game Is a drug in the market. The brant,
now goose, notified goose and white fronted
goose-tbe -four varieties of the true wild
goose-only pause for feed and rest, then
move on. And the surveyors on the Nc
Kenzie report them, In still increasing flocks,
1900 miles north OF the national boundary,
sin wlnging their flight northward.
Deer are still tolerably abundant IN
Dakota, but the buffalo Is gone, and the
moose is fast following him to extinction.

How tho Women Go to Market-A
Prairie Home.

oV
Prairie Home.
The settlement of all our western lands,
from the day that Plymouth and Philadelphia
were border towns to the present, has boon IA
task of much hardship and exposure,
mingled with much that vas enjoyable. In
Dakota, however, some unusual obstacles are
found in the long stretches Of treeless plains
md the winter winds OF the far northwest.
And yet, such is the indomitable spirit OF tho
Yankee that Dakota has filled more rapidly
in the past seven years than has any other
western state or territory, except, possibly,
California in tho flush days of gold mining.
Two pictures illustrating pioneer life in north
Dakota are given: the settlers first residence,
and the frontier vito returning from market
on q rude sled drawn by ono OK. Both these
pictures are reproduced from Frank Leslie's.
The dwelling is a "shack"-so called from the
Indian cabin, on which it is but a slight i'm
provement. Sometimes tho homesteader
lives in an even ruder dwelling than this-in
a nero "dug out" or the hill side, the uphill
end OF the roof almost ON a level with the
ground; yet these dwellings are re-
markably warm and dry. After
two or three years in this rude
dwelling tho pioneer will have full title to his
land and q fcnce around his fields; the sod
will have been turned and rotted and the soil
begin to yield good crops, and then he will
build n better home. For the present he
must do as he can, but he Is cheered with the
certainty Of a good home and farm in no long
time; so it is not wonderful that Dakota has
gained over 800, 900 population in a few years.
So rapidly Is settlement in progress that on
both sides Of the national boundary new vii
lagos appear every month. One might think
the stiffness of death reigned In winter ovor
those vast stretches of snow, where the mer-
curry for days together never gets up to zero
and which would seem sacred to solitude and
desolatlon- Yet Villages are springing up
along tho new railroads and trade is active.
In Assineboia, on the British side, the white
population Is considerable, every available
quarter section within the grant of the Cana
dian Pacific Is taken and mail stages (sleds)
make daily trips from northwestern Dakota
to Moosiman, on that road. Well might Ed
mund Burke, in speaking of British enter
prise, break out in rhapsody on that hardy
spirit which has pursued wealth aud braved
peril "from the aurora borealis of the north
to the frozen serpent of tho south"

THERE will be lively times in Chicago
to day over the city election. In the face
of a common danger which all honest men
dread, mere politics might be ignored,
especially in an election not necessarily
political questions. The result OF the op-
posite course may be the triumph of the
worst clements Of both parties temporarily
united in third, hostile to social order
and sure to bridg about a reign o anarchy

There were nc umpires in thee days;
the ins and outs quarreled Of fought
out their differences by themselves. There
were no called balls and the pitcher
''thrower' no was called-could use any style
of delivery he chose, only he couldn't send
the ball too swiftly.
"Town ball' was another form Of the same
game, and there were also zone old cat, /"
"two old cat" and "three old cat" "long

A unner was out if the ball touched him
or the "bye" he was running for; but the
''outs" of those days didn't bother to touch
the "ins" when they were ru~nning-they just
threw the ball as hard as they could at tho
flying sin and II it hit him he was tout"
Sometimes he was out OF temper as well, for
the impact of a hard ball thrown with all
the force of n good right arm wasn't funny.
In some sections the boys called this Sting
ing" and the game WINS sometimes known as
"stirg ball" The ball wasn't so hard then
as now but the boys would sometimes be
hurt all tho same. One out all out was a rule
very many will remember.

Tho game of baseball as played by PRO
fessionals" today and the game called base
ball by the country boys of twenty years ago
differ greatly, though there is no doubt that
tho present game is the legitimate evolution Of
the Older one. Perhaps the most radical
difference lies In tho fact that in the
games Of the past it was the players
who had the fun, and the game was played
for recreation, and rarely for a consideration
otbor than glory and the possession Of the

"a" arc ''byes,' '4' being the homo "bye"
and the termination Of tho runners Journey
around what was then the square, and not
the diamond.
The pitcher-ho was usually called the
"bowlder." q relic Of cricket nomenclature
stood at D and the catcher stood ut c. There
were no regular outfelders, and the game
could DO played by six ~boys-three on a side.
But while half a dozen could play the game,
half a dozen rarely did, and tho number was
often twenty or more. In such a case tho
field was covered by the supernuous players
as they chose.
And now for the rules and workings Of the
game. Tho two best players were selected to
"choose sides" and they sometimes decided
who should have first choice of players by
tossing up a stone, upon which one Of
them had solemnly spat. One called out
3wct" and the other dry" the falling Of the
stone decided the matter. But the moro com
mon method was for one of the two "cboosers"
to toss a ball club into the air; tho other
would catch 1t and then there was a superim-
posing Of grasped hands. This method WIS
called Choosing up" and the ono who held
the club last had first choice. But he had to
have q firm grip, and it was decided whether
over his head. If he had hold by but one fin
ger he often failed. Sometimes this impor-
tant matter was settled by driving down. "
II the grasp on the club was less than q full
hand mo allusion TO the great game of poker
intende,D, it was not enough. The accom-
panying cut will best explain this.

The batting order came in the same order
that the players were chosen, and the
best players thus had first bat al
ways, for the "choosersn would, of course,
always choose tho best players first. Players
were out II they struck at q ball three times
and missed, providing it was caught always.
One bound was always allowed the catcher
and sometimes two. II q batted ball were
caught on the fly or the first or second bound
It was out also, and II a ball were batted over
the fence 1t was "out". But whoever got the
ball first was Sin" and a rousing bat was sure
to cause a general stampede, and afforded tho
players plenty of practice In vaulting. There
were no fouls, properly speaking. If the ball
werc battod ahead of the striker he was en-
titled to q run il he could get it. But q "tick"
or Tip" was not a hit. Who doesn't remem-
